I have the patterns from Power Model Supply that they used before the business burnt down and the owner died. I think I have a few cast in Z-28 in the cupboard. If none of the commercial suppliers have them, I could probably supply a few. However, If I were going to do a non-functional trim item such as this now I'd probably print them on a resin 3D printer.

Too many things going on to bother listing them.

They are not on their website, but Precision Scale Car has them. Bought some at Mill Creek in August.

TomBeeOnline carries plastic poling pockets at $1.50 each. After some modification, mounted and painted, they won't look too bad. Carl B.

If you're still looking for poling pockets, I cast a small batch today. $16 for a set of four, plus shipping. 3 sets available.

James...if you don't mind me asking, what kind of material did you cast those in? Plastic? Metal? Carl B.
